Lyrics

You'll meet his kind in the strangest of places
Great what you find if you turn enough stones
Legerdmain eyes wear the sweetest of faces -
You're quick to invite into your hearts and homes

But the serpent and worms are his real kith and kin
Reptilian hiding inside human skin

Snake charming

Horns start to show with the thrill of the slaughter
True to his nature to others he's false
Mothers should lock up their blossoming daughters -
He'll rape anything that has limbs and a pulse

A bastard - a blaggard of the highest order
His mind should be washed with soap and holy water

Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
It is never too late to be charming -
The snake charming

The moment I strike - just when you think I'll kiss
No good in a fight - I just wriggle and hiss
A friend of bistiction with eyes that decieve
I am the serpent - won't you be my eve?

He's constantly searching (his eyes won't stay still) for
Something thats worth thirty pieces of silver

Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
It is never too late to be charming -
The snake charming

He's welcome as death at your wedding reception
Defying rejection - uninvited guest
One foot in your door then both legs 'neath your table
Sly as a viper - your bossom his nest

Creep like a sneak thief - snake through the grass
To kiss cleopatra - a pain in the asp

Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
Charming, the snake
It is never too late to be charming -
The snake charming
